Allows players to mine bedrock using a pickaxe of mining level 4 or higher (configurable on 1.20.4 and below). After being mined, bedrock does not drop anything (also configurable), it just breaks. The destroy time (default 71) and explosion resistance (default 3600000) of bedrock are also all easily configurable.
